WHO'S TO BLAME

It is unlikely that President Clinton will be re-elected without a balanced budget. It is my belief that he wants, very much, to be re-elected. The Republicans, on the other hand, do not want Mr. Clinton to be re-elected. It is to their advantage, not his, to remain in this stalemate. Let's look behind the rhetoric and blame to the underlying motivations behind the behavior in this power struggle!

Now, who do you really think is holding up the budget balancing?
